My dear Modem Maderator
you are plainly doing something badly wrong because for the life of me I cannot figure it out what it could possibly be, unless you innocently assumed that the single file you were about to or had already downloaded from the rapidshare link Tony provided was that of a
single albeit uncharacteristically large mp3, whereas it was actually an "archive" type file broadly similar to a zip file that comprised the compressed remains of all 15 tracks each in mp3 format
The way the rar files are set up (each containing every mp3 for each of the two sets(concerts) there is no way that you could only download one mp3.free or otherwise



To help you and anybody else with a logic challenge I will now give a mini tutorial

1. for the St Pete's concert click the two links (one at a time of course) as provided by
   Tony G
   http://rapidshare.com/files/375660131/GLSPF10Part1.rar
   and
   http://rapidshare.com/files/375681810/GLSPF10Part2.rar
2. the rapidshare site will open displaying
   an encouraging note like this for set 1
   FILE DOWNLOAD
   http://rapidshare.com/files/375660131/GLSPF10Part1.rar | 128185 KB
   under which are two peurile "speedometers"
   a slow speed one for the hoi polloi of free users
   
   and a higher speed one for the plutocrats amongst you who want to waste good money (up to 23 cents a day, makes no sense to me,to become a premium user)
   　
3. click the free user button
   
4. a boring countdown from 88 seconds will keep you amused for a while
5. but in time you should see a nice download button
6. click the button
7. you will get a dialog box showing the name of the rar file (GLSPF10Part1.rar ) and its size and a choice of "open" or "save" which option you choose is not important as both will start the throttled download of the file. On my Verizon high speed Internet this took about 13 minutes.
8. Now "unrar" the downloaded rar file
   you might already have a suitable unzipping program so use it to unrar the rar to reveal the
   15 or so mp3s in each part.
9. If you do not have a suitable program do not despair but see my posting on the
   "Seattle 1974" rapidshare thread in which I thoroughly recommend a freeware unzip and unrar utility called jzip
10. see:-

12. in that posting I have also promoted the use of a freeware CD burning program called Express Burn courtesy of some Aussies who are plainly not hooligans as it is ideal for what should be (and presumably were before being split into individual tracks and burnt with the usual CD 2 second gap between tracks) continuous concert recordings because it has an extremely easy to set up and use facility to burn with virtually no gaps beteween the tracks, a trick that I had wanted to know how to do for a very long gtime
